EVO ICL At Astorino Eye Care

What Is EVO ICL?

If you’ve been told you aren’t a candidate for LASIK — or if you want a long-term, flexible solution — EVO ICL could be the answer. Instead of reshaping your cornea like LASIK, ICL gently places a biocompatible lens inside your eye. Think of it as a “permanent contact lens” that you never see or feel — but that delivers crisp, clear vision every day.

Why Choose ICL?

• Perfect for LASIK Non-Candidates – Works well for thin corneas, high prescriptions, or dry eye concerns.
  
  
• No Tissue Removal – Your natural cornea remains untouched.
  
  
• Reversible & Removable – The lens can be removed or replaced if your vision needs change.
  
  
• Sharp, Clear Vision – Especially effective for patients with moderate to severe nearsightedness.
  
  
• Quick Recovery – Most patients notice improvement within a day or two.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a candidate for ICL?
ICL is ideal for adults with moderate to severe nearsightedness, thin corneas, or dry eyes. A full exam confirms if it’s right for you.

Does the procedure hurt?
Numbing drops are used, and most patients report only mild pressure.

Is it permanent?
The lens is designed to last a lifetime but can be removed or replaced if necessary.
